I am pleased to hear about the various links the Minister of State has outlined. I was not familiar with all of them. I understand that his answer is "not now".

I did not mention an area where there is a real need. My husband did voluntary work there in the area of agriculture. He found that the people needed help to advance their breeds of cattle. A former ambassador from Africa told me that in the past people from African countries came here to upskill for a while in skills that they needed to take home, which was very successful. Does the Minister of State think there would be an opening for something like that in the area of agriculture?
